Tru-Colour bandages: Because kids come in different colors

I love every single thing about Tru-Colour bandages, from their story to their packagingโ€“but most of all, how they celebrate and honor diversity. Adoptive dad Toby couldnโ€™t find bandages to match the skin tones of three of his five kids, so he created Tru-Colour.

Tru-Colour Bandages were created by an adoptive dad to bring bandage equality to people of color

I love every single thing about Tru-Colour bandages, from their story to their packagingโ€“but most of all, how they celebrate and honor diversity. Adoptive dad Toby couldnโ€™t find bandages to match the skin tones of three of his five kids, so he created Tru-Colour. Theyโ€™re available in three shades, all packed in a resealable bag, so addresses one more issue, too.

 

While they are a bit pricier than regular bandages, with 30 in each bag for around $6 (plus free shipping), Iโ€™m happy to pay a bit of a premium in support of such a positive message. Sometimes itโ€™s the simple things that help work towards big change.

Weโ€™ve come a long way from those โ€œfleshโ€ colored crayons, huh?

You can purchase the Tru-Colour bandages on their website.
